Damien Carol commented on HIVE-7689:
------------------------------------
[~brocknoland] I don't know if the trunk can work with lowercase table name
without this patch.
The fact is that, the current code create tables in lower case but every table
in Metastore rely on same uppercase policy and naming conventions. (on
postgres).
When we started to work with transactions/compactions on our production
cluster, we thought it was a bug and we created few patches to use uppercase
names tables. Now this patch work well in our cluster and we want to push it
upstream.
I'm well aware that it's a pis-aller because the implementation in the patch is
a "simple" patch that adds quotes identifiers. A more well designed patch could
be to re-factor it to use DataNucleus/ObjectStore or third party library.
We just made the patch this way to be less intrusive.
Anyway this JIRA need feedback from [~alangates]
